In this session, Agne Caunt and Richard Esplin from Dock Labs break down the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) at the level most explainers skip: how the ecosystem is actually structured, what matters versus what is noise, and the practical steps an organization can take today.

(00:00) Introduction

(06:18) Regulation: from eIDAS 2014 to the 2024 revision

(07:30) The BLT model: business, legal, and technical layers

(09:19) Where Europe innovated (legal and business) versus stayed conservative (technical)

(10:44) The three credential types: PID, QEAA, EAA

(12:18) Platform and format: when EUDI-compliant and "compliant enough" diverge

(17:01) QEAAs in private wallets and what DICE revealed

(19:18) Google, Apple, and Samsung: where big tech wallets fit

(23:15) Where a technology provider fits across the ecosystem

(26:10) The standards, in one slide: OpenID4VC, HAIP, SD-JWT VC, mdoc

(29:47) What EUDI deliberately left out: JSON-LD, DIDs, and ZKPs

(33:34) An honest assessment of what is still moving

(35:14) Practical steps: the relying party path

(45:12) The issuer path: QEAA versus EAA
